Choosing the Pay TV Package to Suit You
The best stuff on TV can only be found by heading to a subscription TV service, and Australia has wholeheartedly embraced that idea for the past couple of decades with Foxtel.Technology has expanded the options that are available to you – once you needed to get a physical cable connected or a satellite dish installed on your building, today’s broadband internet plays a crucial role in delivering pay TV, with more people getting used to the idea of streaming their entertainment and sport through fast NBN connections.
While on-demand movies has been the most-publicised feature of online streaming, you can now gain full access to live pay TV via that internet connection as well.
Foxtel
The pioneer of pay TV in Australia, Foxtel delivers over 90 channels of entertainment, news and sport via both cable and satellite; both methods require installation at the customer’s premises if Foxtel hasn’t been connected there before.Foxtel’s iQ3 box acts as receivers for the channel and as digital video recorders; able to automatically capture your favourite shows to watch later with the exact same quality as if you were watching them live. Coupled with a broadband internet connection, the iQ boxes can also give you access to on-demand replays of recent shows and entire seasons, all included in the subscription cost.
Foxtel Now
With Foxtel Now#, everyone can stream the best choice of new shows, complete seasons and live sport from around the world. Watch instantly on your device.Try 2 weeks free. Cancel anytime.
